چکیده
Iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) are prevalent in all states of India. IDD continue to be high despite ban on the sale of non-iodised salt. In order to assess the effectiveness of salt iodization programme, a study was undertaken to analyse the iodine content of salt samples sold in Ujjain (M.P.). 108 salt samples, commercially available to general public, were collected at retailer level from urban areas of Ujjain. Iodine content of the samples was estimated using standard iodometric titration method. The results indicated that iodine content in 53.7% of the samples was inadequate. Iodine content was significantly lower in 94.7% of non-branded and non-packed with low cost categories. Therefore, economically poor public is at higher risk of iodine deficiency.

Taiwan was an iodine deficiency area and endemic goiter was common in 1940's. Mandatory salt iodization started in 1967, and a 1971 survey indicated that goiter rates in children decreased from 21.6% to 4.3%. To understand iodine status before the change of national salt iodization program in 2003, from mandatory to voluntary salt iodization, we retrospectively measured urinary iodine concentra...

BACKGROUND Iodine deficiencies were prevalent in China until the introduction of universal salt iodization (USI) in 1995. In 2012, the standard salt iodine concentration was adjusted to 20-30 mg/kg. The success of USI for the control of iodine deficiency disorders requires monitoring its effect at a population level. METHODS Two cross sectional surveys of a representative sample of children a...
